Culture of Peru

The culture of Peru was made by the relationship between Hispanic and Amerindian cultures. The ethnic diversity and rugged geography of Peru allowed diverse traditions and customs to co-exist. The coastal, European influenced Peru has passed through various intellectual stages - from colonial Hispanic culture to European Romanticism after independence. The early 20th century brought "indigenismo", expressed in a new awareness of Indian culture. Since World War II, Peruvian writers, artists, and intellectuals such as César Vallejo and José María Arguedas have participated in worldwide intellectual and artistic movements.

Literature

Peruvian literature has its roots in the oral traditions of pre-ColumbianLos Comentarios Reales de los Incas, published in 1609.

After independence, the monarchy wrote a book that spoke to all of the people. Costumbrism and Romanticism became the most common literary genres, as exemplified in the works of Priests. In the early 20th century, the Indigenismo movement produced such writers as Ciro Alegría,José María Arguedas, and César Vallejo. José Carlos Mariátegui's essays in the 1920s were a turning-point in the political and economic analysis of Peruvian history.

Peru

Peru (i/pəˈruː/; Spanish:Perú[peˈɾu]; Quechua:Piruw[pɪɾʊw];Aymara:Piruw[pɪɾʊw]), officially the Republic of Peru (Spanish: República del Perú), is a country in western South America. It is bordered in the north by Ecuador and Colombia, in the east by Brazil, in the southeast by Bolivia, in the south by Chile, and in the west by the Pacific Ocean. Peru is an extremely biodiverse country with habitats ranging from the arid plains of the Pacific coastal region in the west to the peaks of the Andes mountains vertically extending from the north to the southeast of the country to the tropical Amazon Basin rainforest in the east with the Amazon river.

Peruvian territory was home to ancient cultures spanning from the Norte Chico civilization in Caral, one of the oldest in the world, to the Inca Empire, the largest state in Pre-Columbian America. The Spanish Empire conquered the region in the 16th century and established a Viceroyalty with its capital in Lima, which included most of its South American colonies. Ideas of political autonomy later spread throughout Spanish America and Peru gained its independence, which was formally proclaimed in 1821. After the battle of Ayacucho, three years after proclamation, Peru ensured its independence. After achieving independence, the country remained in recession and kept a low military profile until an economic rise based on the extraction of raw and maritime materials struck the country, which ended shortly before the war of the Pacific. Subsequently, the country has undergone changes in government from oligarchic to democratic systems. Peru has gone through periods of political unrest and internal conflict as well as periods of stability and economic upswing.

Culture

Culture (/ˈkʌltʃər/) is, in the words of E.B. Tylor, "that complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, art, morals, law, custom and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society."

Cambridge English Dictionary states that culture is, "the way of life, especially the general customs and beliefs, of a particular group of people at a particular time."Terror Management Theory posits that culture is a series of activities and worldviews that provide humans with the illusion of being individuals of value in a world meaning—raising themselves above the merely physical aspects of existence, in order to deny the animal insignificance and death that Homo Sapiens became aware of when they acquired a larger brain.

North America covers an area of about 24,709,000 square kilometers (9,540,000 square miles), about 16.5% of the earth's land area and about 4.8% of its total surface.
North America is the third largest continent by area, following Asia and Africa, and the fourth by population after Asia, Africa, and Europe.

In 2013, its population was estimated at nearly 565million people in 23 independent states, or about 7.5% of the world's population, if nearby islands (most notably the Caribbean) are included.

The history of Lima, the capital of Peru, began with its foundation by Francisco Pizarro on January 18, 1535. About the book: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0195069285/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0195069285&linkCode=as2&tag=ub066-20&linkId=68866078b401c19fe884e9aeeb3f86a8
The city was established on the valley of the Rímac River in an area populated by the Ichma polity. It became the capital of the Viceroyalty of Peru and site of a Real Audiencia in 1543. In the17th century, the city prospered as the center of an extensive trade network despite damage from earthquakes and the threat of pirates. However, prosperity came to an end in the 18th century due to an economic downturn and the Bourbon Reforms.
The population of Lima played an ambivalent role in the 1821–1824 Peruvian War of Independence; the city suffered exactions from Royalist and Patriot armies alike. After independence, Lima became the capital of the Republic of Peru. It enjoyed a short period of prosperity in the mid-19th century until the 1879–1883 War of the Pacific when it was occupied and looted by Chilean troops. After the war, the city went through a period of demographic expansion and urban renewal. Population growth accelerated in the 1940s spurred by immigration from the Andean regions of Peru. This gave rise to the proliferation of shanty towns as public services failed to keep up with the city expansion.

Peru is a representative democratic republic divided into 25 regions. It is a developing country with a high Human Development Index score and a poverty level around 25.8 percent.[7] Its main economic activities include mining, manufacturing, agriculture and fishing.
The Peruvian population, estimated at 31.2 million in 2015,[8] is multiethnic, including Amerindians, Europeans, Africans and Asians. The main spoken language is Spanish, although a significant number of Peruvians speak Quechua or other native languages. This mixture of cultural traditions has resulted in a wide diversity of expressions in fields such as art, cuisine, literature, and music.

Peruvian Textiles, An Ancient Tradition.

Peruvian Textiles, An Ancient Tradition.

Peruvian Textiles, An Ancient Tradition.

Andean textiles represent a continuing textile tradition spanning at least ten thousand years. Fiber work has been found in Guitarrero Cave, Peru dates back to 8000 BCE. Beginning with non-loom, twined cotton fabric, this textile tradition expanded to include alpaca and llama wool. Today Andean weavers are known worldwide for their skills and rich traditions.
When the Spanish invaders began to establish them selves in Peru in 1430, the height of the Incan Empire, they only had eyes for the abundant profusion of glittering gold. The Incan capital of Cuzco was the most opulently rich city of all the Americas. Its temples were plated with heavy gold, and whole menageries of gold animals lay inside. But of even more value to the Inca, were the rich and varied textiles they created.
Peru has the longest continuous history of textile production in the world, going back almost 10,000 years. Invented long before pottery and just as humans started agriculture, Peruvian fiber manipulation began with simple spun fibers, moving on through cords and nets. By 500 C this rudimentary craft had developed into complex weaving, employing practically every technique known today.
In Paracas, exquisite and delicate textile art can be dated as far back as 600 BC. We know of these textiles because they were wrapped in layer after intricate layer around mummies, and were thought to accompany Paracas people into the afterlife.
Ornate featherwork textiles were also highly prized by the ancient peoples of the central Andes, as well as those in the highlands and along the coast. Many examples of feathered garments and hangings patterned by feather mosaic have been recovered from the arid costal region, where they were preserved for centuries and, often, for millennia.
Though featherwork textiles are no longer common, other weaving traditions of Peru have remained strong, passed down through traditional teaching methods of observation and repetition. While modern methods of textile production have become prevalent as Peru takes its place as a leading producer of high quality textiles, the backstrap loom, still used in the Andes today, dates to pre Inca times.
Textiles continue to play an integral role in Peruvian culture. They are given as gifts in courtship, and are important parts of marriage and coming of age ceremonies. Because most of Peruvian textile creators are women, money earned from this art is more likely to go toward feeding and caring for children, and improves the lives of women as they become larger contributors to household income.
Creating intricate, detailed textile designs, Peruvian artisans draw from the world’s longest textile tradition. With knowledge that stretches back millennia, it’s no wonder that their hands create some of the most beautiful, sumptuous fashion in the world. It is by this path that Peru has entered the world market as a textile superstar.
San Pedro De Cajas is the capital of Peru's artisans and their textile products are widely know all over Peru and the world, San Pedro de Cajas, located in the province of Tarma, Department of Junín, 90% of the population are people who make their crafts manually, with only a machine of wood, which they invented to help them create their colorful, Eccentric blankets, which reflected their creativity and skill.
San Pedro de Cajas is home to artisans, engaged in textiles where the majority are women engaged in manual processing of typical rugs, tapestries, sweaters, socks and scarves others.
The characteristics that each textile difference because they are made from the soft wool from sheep, alpaca and vicuna, along with designs of their own experiences, their landscape, customs and traditions. The villagers wear their handmade works on special dates, being the closest: Christmas, Easter or the festivities of June, where each neighborhood presents the best of craftsmanship and creativity. The technic of their creative textiles have expanded throughout the country.

It is bordered in the north by Ecuador and Colombia, in the east by Brazil, in the southeast by Bolivia, in the south by Chile, and in the west by the Pacific Ocean. Peru is an extremely biodiverse country with habitats ranging from the arid plains of the Pacific coastal region in the west to the peaks of the Andes mountains vertically extending from the north to the southeast of the country to the tropical Amazon Basin rainforest in the east with the Amazon river.[6]
Peruvian territory was home to ancient cultures spanning from the Norte Chico civilization in Caral, one of the oldest in the world, to the Inca Empire, the largest state in Pre-Columbian America. The Spanish Empire conquered the region in the 16th century and established a Viceroyalty with its capital in Lima, which included most of its South American colonies. Ideas of political autonomy later spread throughout Spanish America and Peru gained its independence, which was formally proclaimed in 1821. After the battle of Ayacucho, three years after proclamation, Peru ensured its independence. After achieving independence, the country remained in recession and kept a low military profile until an economic rise based on the extraction of raw and maritime materials struck the country, which ended shortly before the war of the Pacific. Subsequently, the country has undergone changes in government from oligarchic to democratic systems. Peru has gone through periods of political unrest and internal conflict as well as periods of stability and economic upswing.
Peru is a representative democratic republic divided into 25 regions. It is a developing country with a high Human Development Index score and a poverty level around 25.8 percent.[7] Its main economic activities include mining, manufacturing, agriculture and fishing.
The Peruvian population, estimated at 31.2 million in 2015,[8] is multiethnic, including Amerindians, Europeans, Africans and Asians. The main spoken language is Spanish, although a significant number of Peruvians speak Quechua or other native languages. This mixture of cultural traditions has resulted in a wide diversity of expressions in fields such as art, cuisine, literature, and music.

Andean textiles represent a continuing textile tradition spanning at least ten thousand years. Fiber work has been found in Guitarrero Cave, Peru dates back to 8000 BCE. Beginning with non-loom, twined cotton fabric, this textile tradition expanded to include alpaca and llama wool. Today Andean weavers are known worldwide for their skills and rich traditions.
When the Spanish invaders began to establish them selves in Peru in 1430, the height of the Incan Empire, they only had eyes for the abundant profusion of glittering gold. The Incan capital of Cuzco was the most opulently rich city of all the Americas. Its temples were plated with heavy gold, and whole menageries of gold animals lay inside. But of even more value to the Inca, were the rich and varied textiles they created.
Peru has the longest continuous history of textile production in the world, going back almost 10,000 years. Invented long before pottery and just as humans started agriculture, Peruvian fiber manipulation began with simple spun fibers, moving on through cords and nets. By 500 C this rudimentary craft had developed into complex weaving, employing practically every technique known today.
In Paracas, exquisite and delicate textile art can be dated as far back as 600 BC. We know of these textiles because they were wrapped in layer after intricate layer around mummies, and were thought to accompany Paracas people into the afterlife.
Ornate featherwork textiles were also highly prized by the ancient peoples of the central Andes, as well as those in the highlands and along the coast. Many examples of feathered garments and hangings patterned by feather mosaic have been recovered from the arid costal region, where they were preserved for centuries and, often, for millennia.
Though featherwork textiles are no longer common, other weaving traditions of Peru have remained strong, passed down through traditional teaching methods of observation and repetition. While modern methods of textile production have become prevalent as Peru takes its place as a leading producer of high quality textiles, the backstrap loom, still used in the Andes today, dates to pre Inca times.
Textiles continue to play an integral role in Peruvian culture. They are given as gifts in courtship, and are important parts of marriage and coming of age ceremonies. Because most of Peruvian textile creators are women, money earned from this art is more likely to go toward feeding and caring for children, and improves the lives of women as they become larger contributors to household income.
Creating intricate, detailed textile designs, Peruvian artisans draw from the world’s longest textile tradition. With knowledge that stretches back millennia, it’s no wonder that their hands create some of the most beautiful, sumptuous fashion in the world. It is by this path that Peru has entered the world market as a textile superstar.
San Pedro De Cajas is the capital of Peru's artisans and their textile products are widely know all over Peru and the world, San Pedro de Cajas, located in the province of Tarma, Department of Junín, 90% of the population are people who make their crafts manually, with only a machine of wood, which they invented to help them create their colorful, Eccentric blankets, which reflected their creativity and skill.
San Pedro de Cajas is home to artisans, engaged in textiles where the majority are women engaged in manual processing of typical rugs, tapestries, sweaters, socks and scarves others.
The characteristics that each textile difference because they are made from the soft wool from sheep, alpaca and vicuna, along with designs of their own experiences, their landscape, customs and traditions. The villagers wear their handmade works on special dates, being the closest: Christmas, Easter or the festivities of June, where each neighborhood presents the best of craftsmanship and creativity. The technic of their creative textiles have expanded throughout the country.

LimaStreet Food – PeruvianFoodDocumentary [PeruTravel Documentary]
The "Foodie Culture" reigns in my city. There is food everywhere - on the street corners, in the parks. There are a couple of restaurants on every block it seems. Start a conversation with a taxi driver and the first thing he'll ask you (since it's obvious you're a foreigner!) is "How do you like the food?" Everyone here seems obsessed with food. And with good reason. Peruvian food is the most varied, most delicious, freshest food in the world! OK, there may be folks from a few other countries who will want to debate that extreme statement, but no one who really knows Peruvian food will deny that it is way up there on the list of the world's best foods!

Peru - From The Andes To The Amazon HD

The Incas built Machu Picchu around 1450, but abandoned it a century later at the time of the Spanish Conquest. Although known locally, it was unknown to the outside world before being brought to international attention in 1911 by the American historian Hiram Bingham. Since then, Machu Picchu has become an important tourist attraction.
The Peruvian Amazon, the fourth largest expanse of tropical rainforest in the world, occupies 60% of the country and is one of the most biologically diverse areas on earth. But the destruction of habitat over the last 20 years has taken its toll. Deforestation due to gold mining, oil extraction, logging and expansion of palm oil plantations has had a devastating effect on the wildlife and on the indigenous people.

Unearthed Skeletons of Peru's Ancient Civilization

Human-sacrifice rituals at an ancient Moche temple in Peru likely featured the killing of war captives from distant valleys, according to an analysis of bones and teeth at the site.
The human remains—mutilated, dismembered, and buried in pits—help explain territorial struggles among the Moche, who ruled Peru's arid coast from around 100A.D. to 850 A.D. (See also "Moche BurialsUncovered.")
Debate among scholars over Moche human sacrifices has centered on the question of whether they were ritual killings of elites or of war prisoners.

Entre Peruanos: An Ethnography on the Peruvian Community of Tucson

The Andean folk music group Entre Peruanos plays a fundamental role in sustaining the Peruvian community of Tucson. Tucson is a city, like many others in the Southwest of U.S., that each day grows more ethnically diverse and where the word "community" is now in the 21st century being redefined. Andean folk music is the raison d'etre of Entre Peruanos and is always present at any gathering of this group. Community for Entre Peruanos means traveling from different parts of the city to rehearse at a members house, record a song, play a gig, celebrate a birthday, perform at Tucson MeetYourself, parade during the All SoulsProcession or simply just share some food and dance to a lively wayno. A lot of text messages, phone calls, MySpace Blogs and emails virtually connect this community that ...

Rethinking: Peru

AlexMott visits Peru and Bolivia, investigating megalithic walls, Ica Stones and elongated skulls. The precision of the joints in the walls at Cusco, Saqsayhuaman and Ollantaytambo suggest that the ancient Peruvians knew how to soften stone, but what’s undeniable is their knowledge of agriculture and respect for the natural world. Peru’s highly magnetic location also may shed some light on the mysterious stone working techniques of the ancients.
This documentary also includes aerial footage of the Nazca lines and interviews with Brien Foerster on site at Puma Punku and from the Paracas museum (with a mysterious old friend of mine).

The "Foodie Culture" reigns in my city. There is food everywhere - on the street corners, in the parks. There are a couple of restaurants on every block it seems. Start a conversation with a taxi driver and the first thing he'll ask you (since it's obvious you're a foreigner!) is "How do you like the food?" Everyone here seems obsessed with food. And with good reason. Peruvian food is the most varied, most delicious, freshest food in the world! OK, there may be folks from a few other countries who will want to debate that extreme statement, but no one who really knows Peruvian food will deny that it is way up there on the list of the world's best foods!
"You are a person like travelling, let's Subscribe this channel to learn about the beautiful places in the world. And if you intend to travel in somecountry or someplace and want to get more information of places, please comment in this video, we'll upload as soon as possible. Thank you ^^

Lima Street Food – Peruvian Food Documentary [Peru Travel Documentary]

The Incas built Machu Picchu around 1450, but abandoned it a century later at the time of the Spanish Conquest. Although known locally, it was unknown to the outside world before being brought to international attention in 1911 by the American historian Hiram Bingham. Since then, Machu Picchu has become an important tourist attraction.
The Peruvian Amazon, the fourth largest expanse of tropical rainforest in the world, occupies 60% of the country and is one of the most biologically diverse areas on earth. But the destruction of habitat over the last 20 years has taken its toll. Deforestation due to gold mining, oil extraction, logging and expansion of palm oil plantations has had a devastating effect on the wildlife and on the indigenous people.

Travel video about destination Peru.
Lima is the capital of Peru, the second largest country in South America after Brazil and Argentina.The Palacio De Gobierno is also known as Pizzarro, or Government Palace. This Neo-Classic building was completed in 1938 and stands on the foundation of the former Pizzarro Palace. In the palace gardens is the house in which Pizzarro was killed. Lima, the City of Kings, became the capital of the largest region in Spanish South America and was where the viceroys of the Spanish crown resided. During colonial times this city was the largest, most populated, finest and most cultivated city on the continent. Some of the most beautiful colonial buildings in South America are to be found in Lima’s old town along with carved balconies of Moorish origin. Huaraz is the 3,050 metre high capital of the Departamento Ancash in the White Mountain range, the Cordillera Blanca. Several natural catastrophes destroyed the majority of the old houses and many people were killed. In 1824 Simon Bolivar built his headquarters there prior to his bloody struggle for Peru’s independence. The valley oasis of Nazca which played an important role during the early history of Peru is a desolate area in the south of the country. A small airport is the starting point of a journey to one of the world’s greatest mysteries, the enigma of Nazca culture: images of humans, animals and geometric forms scattered over an area of 1,000 km² like the pages of some fantastic historical and astronomical book, created by the Nazca between 500B.C. and 500 A.D.The 8,300 km² Lake Titicaca is located at an altitudeof 4,000 m in the Andes Mountains on the border that divides Peru and Bolivia. Then there’s Machu Picchu, the Lost City Of The Incas! Peru is a country full of mystery and ancient history. A land of mountains, desert and jungle. A precious gem on the edge of the world!

Human-sacrifice rituals at an ancient Moche temple in Peru likely featured the killing of war captives from distant valleys, according to an analysis of bones and teeth at the site.
The human remains—mutilated, dismembered, and buried in pits—help explain territorial struggles among the Moche, who ruled Peru's arid coast from around 100A.D. to 850 A.D. (See also "Moche BurialsUncovered.")
Debate among scholars over Moche human sacrifices has centered on the question of whether they were ritual killings of elites or of war prisoners.

We traveled to the Bolivian altiplano plateau for the first pre-Inca cultures. We crossed Lake Titicaca, walked through the arid Peruvian coast, we visited the oldest archaeological sites, witness rituals led by shamans and know the looters and grave robbers. Know everything that happened centuries before the Incas to become the lords of the Andes absorbing all previous cultures.
00:50 From the ruins of the former settlements of the Inca and Tiwanaku cultures, on lake Titicaca, the Cayahualla priests worship TataInti, the Sun God.
The Tiwanaku culture appeared in about the fourth century AD, on the Bolivian plateau, just a few kilometres from the shores of Lake Titicaca.
04:13 On the islands of the Sun and Moon, we find numerous ruins of Tiwanaku origin, and which were later occupied by the Incas. The ancient mystical observatories are still used by the shaman in their ceremonies of invocation and meditation.
06:24 The majority of the coast of Peru is dry desert land. Nonetheless, this inhospitable land was the birth place of great civilisations, . this is the case of the Chimú culture who constructed irrigation channels, and created gardens in the desert. With their advanced techniques, they developed agricultural societies capable of supporting large numbers of inhabitants. The Chimú culture built cities like this one, Chanchán, perhaps the largest city in the world at the time, with around 100,000 inhabitants.
08:00 Still today, the fishermen along the coast of northern Peru use these boats, called “cattail horses”, to work the fishing grounds close to the shore. The cattail is a type of reed or bulrush which grows in the marshlands. Once it is cut and dried in the sun, it becomes tough and flexible, very resistant, and waterproof. At dawn, the fishermen set out to sea, expertly maintaining their balance as they ride the waves, using the most ancient of all surfing techniques.
11:02 The anthropomorphic face of the ‘Slitter of Men’s Throats’, at the Tomb, or ‘Huaca’ of the Moon, introduces us to the Moche culture, which flourished along these same coastal valleys, before the Chimú empire, from 200 BC to 700 AD.
15:22The ‘SanPedro’ is a cactus which contains a powerful alkali with relaxant and hallucinatory properties mescaline, a mind-altering substance which induces a profound state of trance, also known as peyote. In the dark of night, and presided over by the shaman, rituals are held, at which they ingest the San Pedro.
21:34 The collection of over 16,000 skulls in the Archaeological museum in Lima makes it possible to study the pathology of these ancient cultures. These Nasca and Paraca skulls were subjected to a traumatic deformation, apparently simply for aesthetic reasons. A long, thin skull was a symbol of the upper class.
25:28 The discovery of the Tomb of the Lord of Sipan, a former president of Peru, was the most important archaeological discovery of America in the last decades.
30:00 These objects are made of gold, and come from the tomb of the Lord of Sipan. The police seized them from the grave robber Ernil Bernal, and they provided the clue for the archaelogist Walter Alva to discover this extraordinary Moche mausoleum.
30:32 The ‘Huaca Rajada’, the ‘Cracked Tomb’, is the burial complex of the Lord of Sipan. Excavations are still going on at this extraordinary find.
37:16 Every night, under cover of darkness, the robbers continue to find treasures, raiding the tombs of the Moche, Chimu, Chancay, Paracas, Nasca…The treasures they unearth are bought for pitiful sums by unscrupulous merchants, and sold on the black market.
41:00 We are leaving the coast and heading east, to discover the Chachapoya culture. We can see the ancient walls of their settlements along the cliffs and crags, totally inaccessible. Without a doubt, Kuelap is the most astonishing of all the Chachapoya cities. On the sacred mountain of La Petaca, there are over one hundred tombs in which they laid to rest their mummified dead. It is not known how they were able to construct them high up on the sheer rock face. The Chachapoya mummies are the product of a relatively sophisticated process.
49:21 And finally, the Incas arrived! Their Empire, the Tahuantinsuyo, extended from what is now Ecuador, to Argentina and Chile, absorbing all previous cultures. They became the masters of the Andes. They built astonishing cities, like the sacred Machupichu, abandoned since the arrival of the Spanish.

It is now known that many of the famous megaliths of Cusco and the Sacred Valley of Peru were made thousands of years prior to the existence of the Inca. Their elongated skull relatives of the coast of Peru may have been not only ancestors, but also immigrants from a different continent. Brien explores the pre-Incan cultures of South America and the true origins of the Inca Empire.
After completing an Honours Bachelor Of Science degree, Brien decided to take up carving and sculpture full time, at the age of 25. In 1995 he moved to Maui, Hawaii, and was hired as assistant project manager for the building of the 62 foot double hull sailing canoe ( ancestor of the modern day catamaran ) Mo'okiha O Pi'ilani ( SacredLizard That Pierces The Heavens. ) This project lasted 2 years. Peru became his next major area of interest. He is associated with Lloyd Pye of the Starchild project, who is analyzing the DNA of elongated human skulls of the PeruvianParacas culture on his behalf.

The Andean folk music group Entre Peruanos plays a fundamental role in sustaining the Peruvian community of Tucson. Tucson is a city, like many others in the Southwest of U.S., that each day grows more ethnically diverse and where the word "community" is now in the 21st century being redefined. Andean folk music is the raison d'etre of Entre Peruanos and is always present at any gathering of this group. Community for Entre Peruanos means traveling from different parts of the city to rehearse at a members house, record a song, play a gig, celebrate a birthday, perform at Tucson MeetYourself, parade during the All SoulsProcession or simply just share some food and dance to a lively wayno. A lot of text messages, phone calls, MySpace Blogs and emails virtually connect this community that physically gather maybe once or twice a week at most. Entre Peruanos is a closed and limited circle of people who are in some way associated with a group that more than being Peruvian per se, like the name Entre Peruanos suggests, shares an interest in Peruvian and Andean folklore. The musical group is actually formed by Peruvians, Mexicans, and other Latinos. The "community" of "Entre Peruanos" involves a larger network, which includes girlfriends, wives, children, and friends that create a Peruvian presence and become ambassadors of Peruvian culture in the greater community of Tucson.

AlexMott visits Peru and Bolivia, investigating megalithic walls, Ica Stones and elongated skulls. The precision of the joints in the walls at Cusco, Saqsayhuaman and Ollantaytambo suggest that the ancient Peruvians knew how to soften stone, but what’s undeniable is their knowledge of agriculture and respect for the natural world. Peru’s highly magnetic location also may shed some light on the mysterious stone working techniques of the ancients.
This documentary also includes aerial footage of the Nazca lines and interviews with Brien Foerster on site at Puma Punku and from the Paracas museum (with a mysterious old friend of mine).

Cultura Latina – Peru’s Chinese Culture and Indigenous Sikuri Music

This week our host MauricioIzquierdo takes us to Peru, where Chinese culture thrives among indigenous customs. Chinese immigrants have been able to retain many of their ancient traditions while fully integrating themselves into Peruvian culture. Approximately five million people with Chinese last names now live in Peru. Then it’s off to the Andes where we hear the sounds of ancient sikuri music now being kept alive by a group of artists that practice indigenous ways of life. Although the Spanish conquerors tried to wipe out all traces of indigenous music, it is alive and well today. teleSUR

Lima: Peru's food revolution - Street Food

Lima, the capital of Peru, is a sprawling metropolis of about 10 million people.
Known as the "city of kings", it was founded by the Spanish conquistadors in the 16th century and became an important centre of the Spanish empire in South America.
Over generations, people from around the world have settled in the vibrant city, resulting in a mix of cultures and cuisines.
Previously Lima was not much more than a transit point for tourists going to the ancient city of Cusco and the magnificent ruins of Machu Picchu. But the tourism industry has grown and tourists are spending more time and money in Lima's restaurants.
Peru's economy may be booming and the status of the nation's cuisine on the rise, but poverty is still rife. GloriaVillanueva Reyes is one of thousands of women working in Peru's many community kitchens providing the poor with food.
"I am proud that our food is now famous but I feel bad at the same time because there are too many people who don't have the chance to eat it. If it would reach everybody, happiness would be complete. Unfortunately, we only see those recipes on television," she says.
Peru is a country full of contradictions and it is struggling to define its modern self. But with the emergence of cooking schools across the country, many young Peruvians hope to be able to contribute to the new wave of Andean cuisine and create a new gastronomic future for their families and their country.
So are Peru's culinary traditions the key to a better future?
Editor's note: This film was first broadcast on Al Jazeera English in 2008.

The history of Lima, the capital of Peru, began with its foundation by Francisco Pizarro on January 18, 1535. About the book: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0195069285/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0195069285&linkCode=as2&tag=ub066-20&linkId=68866078b401c19fe884e9aeeb3f86a8
The city was established on the valley of the Rímac River in an area populated by the Ichma polity. It became the capital of the Viceroyalty of Peru and site of a Real Audiencia in 1543. In the17th century, the city prospered as the center of an extensive trade network despite damage from earthquakes and the threat of pirates. However, prosperity came to an end in the 18th century due to an economic downturn and the Bourbon Reforms.
The population of Lima played an ambivalent role in the 1821–1824 Peruvian War of Independence; the city suffered exactions from Royalist and Patriot armies alike. After independence, Lima became the capital of the Republic of Peru. It enjoyed a short period of prosperity in the mid-19th century until the 1879–1883 War of the Pacific when it was occupied and looted by Chilean troops. After the war, the city went through a period of demographic expansion and urban renewal. Population growth accelerated in the 1940s spurred by immigration from the Andean regions of Peru. This gave rise to the proliferation of shanty towns as public services failed to keep up with the city expansion.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Lima
Peru (Spanish: Perú [peˈɾu]; Quechua: Piruw [pɪɾʊw]; Aymara: Piruw [pɪɾʊw]), officially the Republic of Peru (Spanish: About this sound República del Perú), is a country in western South America. It is bordered in the north by Ecuador and Colombia, in the east by Brazil, in the southeast by Bolivia, in the south by Chile, and in the west by the Pacific Ocean. Peru is an extremely biodiverse country with habitats ranging from the arid plains of the Pacific coastal region in the west to the peaks of the Andes mountains vertically extending from the north to the southeast of the country to the tropical Amazon Basin rainforest in the east with the Amazon river.[6]
Peruvian territory was home to ancient cultures spanning from the Norte Chico civilization in Caral, one of the oldest in the world, to the Inca Empire, the largest state in Pre-Columbian America. The Spanish Empire conquered the region in the 16th century and established a Viceroyalty with its capital in Lima, which included most of its South American colonies. Ideas of political autonomy later spread throughout Spanish America and Peru gained its independence, which was formally proclaimed in 1821. After the battle of Ayacucho, three years after proclamation, Peru ensured its independence. After achieving independence, the country remained in recession and kept a low military profile until an economic rise based on the extraction of raw and maritime materials struck the country, which ended shortly before the war of the Pacific. Subsequently, the country has undergone changes in government from oligarchic to democratic systems. Peru has gone through periods of political unrest and internal conflict as well as periods of stability and economic upswing.
Peru is a representative democratic republic divided into 25 regions. It is a developing country with a high Human Development Index score and a poverty level around 25.8 percent.[7] Its main economic activities include mining, manufacturing, agriculture and fishing.
The Peruvian population, estimated at 31.2 million in 2015,[8] is multiethnic, including Amerindians, Europeans, Africans and Asians. The main spoken language is Spanish, although a significant number of Peruvians speak Quechua or other native languages. This mixture of cultural traditions has resulted in a wide diversity of expressions in fields such as art, cuisine, literature, and music.

How to launch a new culture: Peruvian food and art | Martin Morales | TEDxCityUniversityLondon

In today’s world, Globalisation is becoming a widespread phenomenon. Despite this, there are still cultural barriers that hinder individuals to fully integrate into the society. Martin Morales tells the audience his personal experiences of how he overcame cultural barriers and followed his passion of cooking.
Martin Morales worked with Steve Jobs at Apple as Head of iTunes Pan EU, and has held senior roles at EMI and Disney launching the careers in Europe of Miley Cyrus among others. He was also a DJ and music producer. 4 years ago he gave all that up to cook. He is now the pioneer of Peruvian food, London’s leading Peruvian restaurateur, chef and award-winning cookbook author. With Ceviche in Soho he pioneered Peruvian food. He then opened Andina in Shoreditch to showcase the superfood ingredients of the Peruvian Andes. He also runs the Peruvian record label Tiger’s MilkRecords and helps run the Peruvian charity Amantani.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx

LimaStreet Food – PeruvianFoodDocumentary [PeruTravel Documentary]
The "Foodie Culture" reigns in my city. There is food everywhere - on the street corners, in the parks. There are a couple of restaurants on every block it seems. Start a conversation with a taxi driver and the first thing he'll ask you (since it's obvious you're a foreigner!) is "How do you like the food?" Everyone here seems obsessed with food. And with good reason. Peruvian food is the most varied, most delicious, freshest food in the world! OK, there may be folks from a few other countries who will want to debate that extreme statement, but no one who really knows Peruvian food will deny that it is way up there on the list of the world's best foods!

Peru - From The Andes To The Amazon HD

The Incas built Machu Picchu around 1450, but abandoned it a century later at the time of the Spanish Conquest. Although known locally, it was unknown to the outside world before being brought to international attention in 1911 by the American historian Hiram Bingham. Since then, Machu Picchu has become an important tourist attraction.
The Peruvian Amazon, the fourth largest expanse of tropical rainforest in the world, occupies 60% of the country and is one of the most biologically diverse areas on earth. But the destruction of habitat over the last 20 years has taken its toll. Deforestation due to gold mining, oil extraction, logging and expansion of palm oil plantations has had a devastating effect on the wildlife and on the indigenous people.

Peru Vacation Travel Video Guide

Travel video about destination Peru.
Lima is the capital of Peru, the second largest country in South America after Brazil and Argentina.The Palacio De Gobierno is also known as Pizzarro, or Government Palace. This Neo-Classic building was completed in 1938 and stands on the foundation of the former Pizzarro Palace. In the palace gardens is the house in which Pizzarro was killed. Lima, the City of Kings, became the capital of the largest region in Spanish South America and was where the viceroys of the Spanish crown resided. During colonial times this city was the largest, most populated, finest and most cultivated city on the continent. Some of the most beautiful colonial buildings in South America are to be found in Lima’s old town along with carved balconies of Moorish origin. Huaraz is the 3,050 metre high capital of the Departamento Ancash in the White Mountain range, the Cordillera Blanca. Several natural catastrophes destroyed the majority of the old houses and many people were killed. In 1824 Simon Bolivar built his headquarters there prior to his bloody struggle for Peru’s independence. The valley oasis of Nazca which played an important role during the early history of Peru is a desolate area in the south of the country. A small airport is the starting point of a journey to one of the world’s greatest mysteries, the enigma of Nazca culture: images of humans, animals and geometric forms scattered over an area of 1,000 km² like the pages of some fantastic historical and astronomical book, created by the Nazca between 500B.C. and 500 A.D.The 8,300 km² Lake Titicaca is located at an altitudeof 4,000 m in the Andes Mountains on the border that divides Peru and Bolivia. Then there’s Machu Picchu, the Lost City Of The Incas! Peru is a country full of mystery and ancient history. A land of mountains, desert and jungle. A precious gem on the edge of the world!

Unearthed Skeletons of Peru's Ancient Civilization

Human-sacrifice rituals at an ancient Moche temple in Peru likely featured the killing of war captives from distant valleys, according to an analysis of bones and teeth at the site.
The human remains—mutilated, dismembered, and buried in pits—help explain territorial struggles among the Moche, who ruled Peru's arid coast from around 100A.D. to 850 A.D. (See also "Moche BurialsUncovered.")
Debate among scholars over Moche human sacrifices has centered on the question of whether they were ritual killings of elites or of war prisoners.

We traveled to the Bolivian altiplano plateau for the first pre-Inca cultures. We crossed Lake Titicaca, walked through the arid Peruvian coast, we visited the oldest archaeological sites, witness rituals led by shamans and know the looters and grave robbers. Know everything that happened centuries before the Incas to become the lords of the Andes absorbing all previous cultures.
00:50 From the ruins of the former settlements of the Inca and Tiwanaku cultures, on lake Titicaca, the Cayahualla priests worship TataInti, the Sun God.
The Tiwanaku culture appeared in about the fourth century AD, on the Bolivian plateau, just a few kilometres from the shores of Lake Titicaca.
04:13 On the islands of the Sun and Moon, we find numerous ruins of Tiwanaku origin, and which were later occupied by the Incas. The ancient mystical observatories are still used by the shaman in their ceremonies of invocation and meditation.
06:24 The majority of the coast of Peru is dry desert land. Nonetheless, this inhospitable land was the birth place of great civilisations, . this is the case of the Chimú culture who constructed irrigation channels, and created gardens in the desert. With their advanced techniques, they developed agricultural societies capable of supporting large numbers of inhabitants. The Chimú culture built cities like this one, Chanchán, perhaps the largest city in the world at the time, with around 100,000 inhabitants.
08:00 Still today, the fishermen along the coast of northern Peru use these boats, called “cattail horses”, to work the fishing grounds close to the shore. The cattail is a type of reed or bulrush which grows in the marshlands. Once it is cut and dried in the sun, it becomes tough and flexible, very resistant, and waterproof. At dawn, the fishermen set out to sea, expertly maintaining their balance as they ride the waves, using the most ancient of all surfing techniques.
11:02 The anthropomorphic face of the ‘Slitter of Men’s Throats’, at the Tomb, or ‘Huaca’ of the Moon, introduces us to the Moche culture, which flourished along these same coastal valleys, before the Chimú empire, from 200 BC to 700 AD.
15:22The ‘SanPedro’ is a cactus which contains a powerful alkali with relaxant and hallucinatory properties mescaline, a mind-altering substance which induces a profound state of trance, also known as peyote. In the dark of night, and presided over by the shaman, rituals are held, at which they ingest the San Pedro.
21:34 The collection of over 16,000 skulls in the Archaeological museum in Lima makes it possible to study the pathology of these ancient cultures. These Nasca and Paraca skulls were subjected to a traumatic deformation, apparently simply for aesthetic reasons. A long, thin skull was a symbol of the upper class.
25:28 The discovery of the Tomb of the Lord of Sipan, a former president of Peru, was the most important archaeological discovery of America in the last decades.
30:00 These objects are made of gold, and come from the tomb of the Lord of Sipan. The police seized them from the grave robber Ernil Bernal, and they provided the clue for the archaelogist Walter Alva to discover this extraordinary Moche mausoleum.
30:32 The ‘Huaca Rajada’, the ‘Cracked Tomb’, is the burial complex of the Lord of Sipan. Excavations are still going on at this extraordinary find.
37:16 Every night, under cover of darkness, the robbers continue to find treasures, raiding the tombs of the Moche, Chimu, Chancay, Paracas, Nasca…The treasures they unearth are bought for pitiful sums by unscrupulous merchants, and sold on the black market.
41:00 We are leaving the coast and heading east, to discover the Chachapoya culture. We can see the ancient walls of their settlements along the cliffs and crags, totally inaccessible. Without a doubt, Kuelap is the most astonishing of all the Chachapoya cities. On the sacred mountain of La Petaca, there are over one hundred tombs in which they laid to rest their mummified dead. It is not known how they were able to construct them high up on the sheer rock face. The Chachapoya mummies are the product of a relatively sophisticated process.
49:21 And finally, the Incas arrived! Their Empire, the Tahuantinsuyo, extended from what is now Ecuador, to Argentina and Chile, absorbing all previous cultures. They became the masters of the Andes. They built astonishing cities, like the sacred Machupichu, abandoned since the arrival of the Spanish.
